Retired Villain

Benjamin D. Hersh is the studious, industrious, highly respected city councilman of Rain, NY with a penchant for mediating debates and creative solutions to complex problems. The only problem is, Ben is the fake identity of the former supervillain, The Gentleman, a B-list supervillain who regularly scrapped with the Hero Department's best and brightest. When he finally achieves his long-held revenge, he hangs up his top hat and tuxedo to assume the quiet life of local politics and zoning laws, but when the local high-school starts up a meta-human sports division, Ben forces himself to coach for clout because he's planning to run for mayor in a few years. However, dealing with meta-humans has never been easy, and the children are even more unreasonable than the heroes. As things slowly spiral away from his quiet life master plan, he struggles with the prospect that his villainy days may not be behind him after all.
